Today, we at @OpenAI achieved a milestone that many considered years away: gold medal-level performance on the 2025 IMO with a general reasoning LLM—under the same time limits as humans, without tools. As remarkable as that sounds, it’s even more significant than the headline 🧵
1/N I’m excited to share that our latest @OpenAI experimental reasoning LLM has achieved a longstanding grand challenge in AI: gold medal-level performance on the world’s most prestigious math competition—the International Math Olympiad (IMO).
Increasingly think this might be the most important chart in the world right now
China is on track to install ~20 times more solar in 2025 than the United States. Yeah.

New data out from the Government today. The UK has the most expensive industrial electricity prices in the world. 4X those in the US and 46% above the IEA median. (1/3)

One of the most striking charts this year: China’s startup ecosystem has almost completely collapsed in the last 5 years.
Research from Helsinki shows how building more market-rate housing can benefit low and middle-income residents. Let's break down the "moving chains" and why this matters for housing policy! 🏘️🔬
Immigrants are disproportionately likely to have founded one of Britain's fastest growing businesses. I recommend this new report from @TenThinkTank which explains how Britain can attract more foreign born job creators. tenentrepreneurs.org/job-creators-2…
This fake “graph” shown by a US presidential candidate at every rally is a sad lie about immigration. The new Administration’s policies began in February 2021, not March 2020—obviously. People lie to conceal. So what is this candidate’s lie sweating to conceal? Thread —>
We are happy to release the first results of a RCT of a US program that provided $1,000/month unconditionally for 3 years to 1,000 individuals in the treatment group, with a group of 2,000 people receiving $50/month serving as the control. These are sizable transfers. 1/ 🧵
Internet access unlocks economic and educational opportunities. Using (free) geospatial data, we can now identify which areas lack internet access at super granular levels. Here's the breakdown:

I’m actually very bullish on the UK’s mid-term future: 1. AI: one of the best places in the world to build AI companies + high state capacity in AI relative to peers 2. Science: great uni base, plus bold bets like ARIA
What are the best, most plausible reasons for optimism about Britain over the next five years? To put it another way, if the UK out-performs its low expectations what will be the reasons? Economically, but politically and institutionally too. (I'm sure your joke is funny but…
As we push the boundaries of AI, it's critical that we stay ahead of potential risks. I'm thrilled to announce @GoogleDeepMind's Frontier Safety Framework - our approach to analyzing and mitigating future risks posed by advanced AI models. 1/N deepmind.google/discover/blog/…

After @gamblingondev went on the @CCIdotCity podcast (chartercitiesinstitute.org/podcast/charte…) we commissioned him to write something for us about what philanthropists should do to promote catchup economic growth: openphilanthropy.org/wp-content/upl… Excited this is finally out, worth a read!

Great paper on Help to Buy by Carozzi, Hilber, and Yu - but a sorry tale of UK policy It was obvious the subsidy would be capitalised into house prices, they told the government it would be, and - guess what! - it was capitalised into house prices sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
My new paper with @JosephEStiglitz argues that developing economies are at a turning point and need a new growth strategy based on green investment, labor-absorbing services, and new "industrial" policies focused on these two areas drodrik.scholar.harvard.edu/publications/n…
